When the officer arrived at the location the officer noticed a suspicious person and the officer called to the man who responded by running to the back of an apartment building, Shapiro said.

As the officer pursued the man he ran into a hallway of the building and brandished a gun, Shapiro said. The officer ordered the man to drop the gun and after the man refused the officer fatally shot him in the chest, Shapiro said.

The shooting is being investigated by the department, said Shapiro.

The man's name is being withheld pending notification of the name's family.
